ELEVEN Real Photo Postcards Depicting Indigenous peoples from Alaska.

A collection of 11 unused vintage Real Photo Postcards, 5.5" x 3.5". Eleven photographs of Alaska scenes taken by various photographers over the course of many years, these images show native peoples in traditional dress, posed photographs of indigenous lifeways including a kayaker, a reindeer sled team, school children, a US mail dog sled team, and a portrait of a woman named Obleka. Other images include a Husky with her puppies, a reindeer herd grazing, a yak grazing, and a scenic view of Russian Church in Unalaska. The one Identified photographer is Frank H. Nowell (active in Nome Alaska from 1901-1909, chronicling the local native populations with special focus on their life and customs), another card is marked Sawyers, perhaps a commercial postcard publisher in Alaska but I don't know. All are marked EKC on the verso, a subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company that dates them to the 1940s.

NEAR FINE Condition: just a touch of age, otherwise bright, clean, sharp, and unmarked. A unique group of vintage images from Alaska.
